Abstract
Description
- This application incorporates in entirety and is a continuation in part to application Ser. No. 15/959,075 filed on Apr. 20, 2018, which in turn is a continuation in part of Ser. No. 15/702,555 filed on Sep. 12, 2017.
- This invention relates generally to the field of electronic communications and the transmittance of such communications. More specifically, the invention discloses a new and useful method for delivering a therapeutic through an eco-system of digital content based on a user-mapped EMS.
- In the past few decades, the availability and use of electronic computing devices, such as desktop computers, laptop computers, handheld computer systems, tablet computer systems, and cellular phones have grown tremendously, which provide users with a variety of new and interactive applications, business utilities, communication abilities, and entertainment possibilities.
- One such communication ability is electronic messaging, such as text-based, user-to-user messages. Electronic messaging has grown to include a number of different forms, including, but not limited to, short message service (SMS), multimedia messaging service (MMS), electronic mail (e-mail), social media posts and direct messages, and enterprise software messages. Electronic messaging has proliferated to such a degree that it has become the primary mode of communication for many people.
- While electronic messaging can be a particularly efficient mode of communication for a variety of reasons—instant delivery, limitless distance connectivity, recorded history of the communication—electronic messaging does not benefit from the advantages of in-person communication and telecommunication. For example, when communicating via telecommunication, a person can adjust, alter, or augment the content of their message to an intended recipient through tone, volume, intonation, and cadence. When communicating in-person, or face-to-face, a person can further enhance or enrich their spoken words with eye contact and shift of focus, facial expressions, hand gestures, body language, and the like. In electronic messaging, users lack these critically important signals, clues, and cues, making it difficult for people to convey the subtler aspects of communication and deeper intent. As a result, issues of meaning, substance, and sentiment are often lost or confused in electronic messages, which can, and very often does, result in harmful or damaging misunderstandings. Miscommunications can be particularly damaging in interpersonal and business relationships.
- Another unintended effect of our overreliance on electronic communication is the impairment of emotional and mental health. In a recent article published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, Dr. Jerald Block wrote “technology addiction is now so common that it merits inclusion in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the profession's primary resource to categorize and diagnose mental illnesses.” He went on to further state that the disorder leads to anger and depression when the tech isn't available, as well as lying, social isolation and fatigue. Our devices and experiences from said devices (receiving likes, comments and shares on social media) are in essence a drug dealer and drugs, respectively: Having the capability of doling out the same kind of dopamine hit as a tiny bump of cocaine. In effect, creating the typical addiction/dependency vicious cycle and all of the attendant consequences.
- According to psychotherapist, Nancy Colier, author of “The Power of Life”, “We are spending far too much of our time doing things that don't really matter to us . . . [and become] disconnected from what really matters, from what makes us feel nourished and grounded as human beings.” Based on her findings, the average person checks their
smartphones 150 times per day, or every six minutes. Furthermore, the average young adult sends onaverage 110 texts per day and 46% of respondents checked that their devices are something that they couldn't live without. - With this kind of digital ubiquity, it is becoming readily apparent that any solution to the problem involving curtailing or augmenting user behavior is not a realistic approach. Current approaches espoused by experts involve any one of, or combination of, the following: Downloading an app (Moment, Alter, etc.) that locks or limits phone usage upon reaching a pre-specified limit; disabling notifications from your phone settings; keeping the blue-hued light of your smartphone away from your place of rest; and even buying and carrying around a dummy phone.
- There is a void for a solution that takes into account ubiquitous usage and provides delivery of pro-mental and emotional health content—personalized to the user, much like the way therapeutics have become narrowly tailored—to counter all of the digital-mediated ill effects plaguing our society. These effects will only logarithmically grow as we transition into the IoT era—where we will be exposed to thousands of internet-enabled objects (each capable of delivering contextualized analytics and provisioning) as part of our day-to-day living. Finally, there is a void in the market for delivering hyper-personalized digital-based therapeutics based on a higher-resolution assessment of an EMS (a more dynamic EMS or dEMS). A dynamic assessment based on a multi-correlate coordinate system (mood map) that allows users to plot as a single point along at least two correlates of behavior—resulting in a push of hyper-personalized digital content with therapeutic value to reinforce or counter the user-mapped dynamic assessment.
- Disclosed is a method and system for imposing a dynamic sentiment vector to an electronic message. In one embodiment of the invention, the method comprises: receiving a text input comprising message content from an electronic computing device associated with a user; parsing the message content comprised in the text input for emotionally-charged language; assigning a sentiment value, based on the emotionally-charged language, from a dynamic sentiment value spectrum to the text input; and, based on the sentiment value, imposing a sentiment vector, corresponding to the assigned sentiment value, to the text input, the imposed sentiment vector rendering a sensory effect on the message content designed to convey a corresponding sentiment.
- In another embodiment of the invention, the method comprises: receiving a text input comprising message content from an electronic computing device associated with a user; converting the message content comprised in the text input received from the electronic computing device into converted text in a standardized lexicon; parsing the converted text for emotionally-charged language; generating a sentiment value for the text input from a dynamic sentiment value spectrum by referencing the emotionally-charged language with a dynamic library of emotionally-charged language; and, based on the sentiment value, imposing a sentiment vector to the text input, the imposed sentiment vector rendering a sensory effect on the message content designed to convey a corresponding sentiment.
- For example, in one application of the invention, a user can write and submit a text message on the user's cellular phone for delivery to the user's best friend. After receiving the text message, the invention can analyze the message content of the text message and determine, based on the verbiage, syntax, and punctuation within the message content, that the user is attempting to convey excitement through the text message. The invention can then apply a visual filter of red exclamation points or other illustrative, performative, or kinetic attributes to the text message, indicating the excitement of the user, before the text message is delivered to the user's best friend.
- In another example of one application of the invention, a user can write and submit a direct message through a social media application (e.g., Instagram, Facebook, SnapChat) on the user's mobile phone for delivery to a second user. After receiving the direct message, the invention can use a camera built into the user's mobile phone to capture an image of the user's face and analyze aspects of the user's face (e.g., curvature of the lips, motion of the eyes, etc.) to determine the user's mood or expression. Based on the user's mood or expression, the invention can then apply a vibration pattern to the direct message before the direct message is delivered to the second user.
- In another object of the invention, sentiment and cues of the users emotional or mental state is not gleamed by referencing a parsed user input against a dynamic library of emotionally-charged language to generate a sentiment value and vector for overlaying the said input. Rather, the emotional and mental state (EMS) of the user is chosen by the user or determined by the system based on user engagement with the interface or content. Once the EMS of the user is defined, carefully curated and efficacious content is delivered to the user to combat the defined EMS.
- In one aspect, a method is provided for delivering a digital therapeutic, specific to a user-chosen emotional or mental state (EMS), the method comprising the steps of: recognizing at least one EMS selected by the user from a plurality of EMS, the selected EMS indicating at least one of a feeling, sensation, type of discomfort, mood, mental state, emotional condition, or physical status of the user. Once the EMS is defined, the method then calls for pushing a primary-level message personalized to the user based on at least one stored message coupled to the selected EMS. Finally, pushing at least a secondary-level message personalized to the user based on a threshold-grade match of the user response to the pushed primary-level message with at least one stored response coupled to a stored primary-level message, whereby the user and stored response is a measure of at least one of a reaction, compliance, engagement, or interactivity with the pushed and, or stored primary-level message. The primary and secondary-level messages may contain at least one of a text, image, sound, video, art asset, suggested action or recommended behavior. The efficaciousness or therapeutic value of the primary or secondary messages are validated by at least one—and typically two—independent sources of clinical research or peer-reviewed science, as verified by a credentialed EMS expert.
- In another aspect, once the EMS is defined, the method may call for pushing at least a single-level message. The at least single message may contain at least one of a text, image, sound, video, art asset, suggested action or recommended behavior. Again, the efficaciousness or therapeutic value of the primary or secondary messages are validated by at least one—and typically two—independent sources of clinical research or peer-reviewed science, as verified by a credentialed EMS expert.
- In yet another aspect, a system is described and claimed for delivering the digital content of validated therapeutic efficacy. The system may comprise an EMS store; at least a primary message prescriber; a processor coupled to a memory element with instructions, the processor when executing said memory-stored instructions, configure the system to cause: at least one EMS from a plurality of EMS in the EMS store to be selected by the user, said selected EMS indicating at least one of a feeling, sensation, type of discomfort, mood, mental state, emotional condition, or physical status of the user; and the at least primary message prescriber pushing a primary-level message personalized to the user based on at least one stored message coupled to the selected EMS.
- In yet other aspects, at least a secondary message prescriber is included, wherein the at least secondary message prescriber pushes at least a secondary-level message personalized to the user based on a threshold-grade match of the user response to the pushed primary-level message with at least one stored response coupled to a stored primary-level message, whereby the user and stored response is a measure of at least one of a reaction, compliance, engagement, or interactivity with the pushed and, or stored primary-level message.
- In both aspects (primary or at least secondary message prescribers), the messages or content may contain at least one of a text, image, sound, video, art asset, suggested action or recommended behavior. Much like in the method aspects, the therapeutic value of the messages or content are validated by at least one—and typically two—independent sources of clinical research or peer reviewed published science and selected by a credentialed EMS expert.
- In one other aspect, a system and method for generating a more dynamic assessment allowing for more hyper-personalized digital content delivery is provided. Users may plot as a single point on a multi-correlate coordinate system (mood map), wherein each axis represents a unique correlate of behavior and where a single point is a representation of a user-mapped assessment along at least two correlates of behavior, such as active/inactive and positive/negative. Other reinforcing or countering correlates may be provided. Moreover, the mood map may be three-dimensional to include a third correlate of behavior. Finally, the mood map and plotted assessment along the at least two correlates of behavior may be system enabled, as opposed to user-plotted. The system may capture emotional metrics from at least one of a facial image capture, heart/respiration rate, skin conductance, sensor gathered, digital footprint crawled, response to cognitive/physical tasks, engagement to pushed content, etc.
- Whether the sentiment or cues are generated by the system or defined by the user, content is being overlaid or delivered to enhance intonation, heighten digital communication, obviate ambiguity, boost mood, support self-esteem, inspire wellness, and aid in the longitudinal and non-interventional care for people in distress or need—leveraging a familiar and known modality (digital devices). According to the claimed invention, a whole ecosystem of receiving and delivering modalities are provided for a host of digital therapeutics. The digital therapeutic offerings—with the aid of Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning, and, or predictive EMS assessment tools—may deliver increasingly personalized solutions uniquely tailored to aid each subscriber. Such non-interventional, anonymous, and device-centric solutions are far more appropriate to combat the rising ill-effects of device dependency—rather than pharmaceutical dosing, in-patient treatment, and altering device behavior.

FIG. 1 depicts a schematic of asystem 100 for imposing a dynamic sentiment vector to an electronic message. In one embodiment, asystem 100 can include: asentiment vector generator 110, aprocessor 120, and anelectronic computing device 140 associated with aparticular user 130. Thesentiment vector generator 110, theprocessor 120, and theelectronic computing device 140 are communicatively coupled via a communication network. The network may be any class of wired or wireless network including any software, hardware, or computer applications that can provide a medium to exchange signals or data. The network may be a local, regional, or global communication network. - The
electronic computing device 140 may be any electronic device capable of sending, receiving, and processing information. Examples of the computing device include, but are not limited to, a smartphone, a mobile device/phone, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a computer, a workstation, a notebook, a mainframe computer, a laptop, a tablet, a smart watch, an internet appliance and any equivalent device capable of processing, sending and receiving data. Theelectronic computing device 140 can include any number of sensors or components configured to intake or gather data from a user of theelectronic computing device 140 including, but not limited to, a camera, a heart rate monitor, a temperature sensor, an accelerometer, a microphone, and a gyroscope. Theelectronic computing device 140 can also include an input device (e.g., a touchscreen or a keyboard) through which a user may input text and commands. - As further described below, the
sentiment vector generator 110 is configured to receive an electronic message 160 (e.g., a text input) from theparticular user 130 associated with theelectronic computing device 140 and run aprogram 116 executed by theprocessor 120 to analyze contents of the electronic message, determine a tone or a sentiment that theparticular user 130 is expressing through theelectronic message 160, and apply a sentiment vector to theelectronic message 160, the sentiment vector designed to convey the tone or sentiment determined by thesentiment vector generator 110. Theelectronic message 160 can be in the form of a SMS message, a text message, an e-mail, a social media post, an enterprise-level workflow automation tool message, or any other form of electronic, text-based communication. Theelectronic message 160 may also be a transcription of a voice message generated by theparticular user 130. For example, in one embodiment, from a messaging application installed on theelectronic computing device 140, theuser 130 may select to input a voice (i.e., audio) message through a microphone coupled to theelectronic computing device 140 or initiate a voice message through a lift-to-talk feature (e.g., the user lifts a mobile phone to the user's ear and the messaging application automatically begins recording a voice message). In this example, thesystem 100 can generate a transcription of the voice message or receive a transcription of the voice message from the messaging application. After receiving or generating the transcription (i.e., an electronic message), thesentiment vector generator 110 can then analyze the message content within the electronic message, determine the mood or sentiment of the message content, and apply a corresponding sentiment vector to the electronic message, as further described below. - In one embodiment, the
system 100 may receive anelectronic message 160 in the form of an electroencephalograph (EEG) output. For example, in this embodiment, a user can generate a message using an electronic device communicatively coupled to the user and capable of performing an electroencephalograph to measure and record the electrochemical activity in the user's brain. In this example, thesystem 100 can transcribe the EEG output into anelectronic message 160 or receive a transcription of the EEG output from the electronic device communicatively coupled to the user. After receiving or generating theelectronic message 160 from the EEG, thesentiment vector generator 110 can then analyze the message content within theelectronic message 160, determine the mood or sentiment of the message content, and apply a corresponding sentiment vector to the electronic message. In one example of this embodiment, a user is connected to an augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) headset capable of performing an EEG or an equivalent brain mapping technique. The user can generate a message simply by thinking of what the user is feeling or would like to say. The headset can monitor and record these thoughts and feelings using the EEG and transcribe the thoughts and feelings into an electronic message or send the EEG output signals directly to thesystem 100. Thesystem 100 can then analyze the message content included within theelectronic message 160, determine the mood or sentiment of the message content, and apply a corresponding sentiment vector to theelectronic message 160, creating a vectorized message. Thesystem 100 can then send the vectorized message to the user's intended recipient (e.g., a recipient that the user thought of). - In one embodiment, the
particular user 130 may submit anelectronic message 160 through a mobile application (e.g., a native or destination app, or a mobile web application) installed on the particular user's mobile phone or accessed through a web browser installed on the user's phone. In one example of this embodiment, the user accesses the mobile application, submits theelectronic message 160 in the form of a text input. The sentiment vector generator110 can then analyze the message content included within theelectronic message 160, determine the mood or sentiment of the message content, and apply a corresponding sentiment vector to theelectronic message 160, creating a vectorized message. In this example, the user can then send the vectorized message to the user's intended recipient(s) 131 (e.g., by copying and pasting the vectorized message into a separate messaging application or selecting to export the vectorized message to a separate application, as further described below). In one variation of this embodiment, the user may send the vectorized message to the intendedrecipient 131 directly through the mobile application. In one embodiment, the user may submit anelectronic message 160, or a component of an electronic message (e.g., a single word or phrase within the message content of an electronic message) using a touch input gesture. In one example of this embodiment, the user may submit theelectronic message 160 through an electronic computing device by swiping a finger on a touch screen coupled to theelectronic computing device 140 in a U-shaped gesture on the electronic message. - In another embodiment, the user may input an
electronic message 160 into an entry field of a third-party application such as an email client (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo Mail) or a social media application (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). For example, the user may input a message into the body of an email, or into a status update on Facebook. In this embodiment, thesystem 100 can detect the input of theelectronic message 160 into the third-party application and upload theelectronic message 160 to thesentiment vector generator 110. Thesentiment vector generator 110 can then analyze the message content contained within theelectronic message 160, determine the mood or sentiment of the message content, and apply a corresponding sentiment vector to theelectronic message 160, creating a vectorized message. Thesentiment vector 110 can then replace theelectronic message 160 within the third-party application with the vectorized message. Alternatively, the user may select to replace theelectronic message 160 with the vectorized message (e.g., by copying and pasting the vectorized message into the entry field). -
FIG. 2 depicts a [schematic] of thesentiment vector generator 110. In one embodiment, thesentiment vector generator 110 includes aparsing module 112, a dynamicsentiment value spectrum 114, aprogram 116, and a library of sentiment vectors. In this embodiment, after receiving anelectronic message 160, thesentiment vector generator 110 can activate theprogram 116 executed by aprocessor 120 to analyze message content contained within theelectronic message 160 using theparsing module 112, thesentiment value spectrum 114, and the library of sentiment vectors, which are discussed in further detail below. Part or all of thesentiment vector generator 110 may be housed within the electronic computing device140. Likewise, part of all of thesentiment vector generator 110 may be housed within a cloud computing network. -
FIG. 3 depicts a schematic of theparsing module 112. Theparsing module 112 is configured to parse message content contained within anelectronic message 160 received by thesentiment vector generator 110 for emotionally-charged language and determine a sentiment value for theelectronic message 160 from the dynamicsentiment value spectrum 114. In one embodiment, theparsing module 112 can include one or both of aheuristic layer 112 a and asemantic layer 112 b. Theheuristic layer 112 a is configured to recognize, within the message content contained within theelectronic message 160, shorthand script, symbols, and emotional icons (emoticons). For example, the message “r u okay? :(” contains the shorthand character “r” to represent the word “are,” the shorthand character “u” to represent the word “you,” and the emoticon “:(,” representing an unhappy face, each of which theheuristic layer 112 a is configured to recognize. Theheuristic layer 112 a can be further configured to translate recognized shorthand script, symbols, and emoticons into a standardized lexicon. For example, referring back to the previous example, the heuristic layer can translate “u” into “you,” “r” into “are,” and “:(” into “[sad].” Theheuristic layer 112 a can thus translate the entire message from “r u okay? :(” to “are you okay? [sad]” in order to compare the sentiments expressed within different messages in a more objective manner and determine the nature of the emotionally-charged language contained within the message of content of theelectronic message 160. - The
semantic layer 112 b is configured to recognize, within the message content contained within theelectronic message 160, natural language syntax. For example, in the message “is it ok if we text on WhatsApp?” the construction of the phrases “is it ok” and “WhatsApp?” reflect natural language syntax that can express particular sentiments. “is it ok[?]” can express tentativeness in addition to the objective question that the phrase asks. For reference, inverting and contracting the first two words to create the phrase “it's okay[?]” results in a phrase that can express more confidence. Likewise, the space inserted between “WhatsApp” and “?” can have the effect of “softening” the question mark in comparison to “WhatsApp?” Thesemantic layer 112 b is configured to recognize the use of natural language syntax such as “is it ok” and “WhatsApp?” and can be further configured to translate the recognized natural language syntax into a standardized lexicon. The standardized lexicon can be a standard set of words and terms (e.g., an Oxford dictionary) that theparsing module 112 is able to parse for emotionally-charged language. In one embodiment, the standardized lexicon is a standard set of words and terms with predefined attributes. For example, again referring to the previous example, thesemantic layer 112 b can translate the entire message from “is it ok if we text on WhatsApp?” to “can[soft] we text on WhatsApp?[soft]” in order to compare the sentiments expressed within different messages in a more objective manner and determine the nature of the emotionally-charged language contained within the message of content of theelectronic message 160. - In one embodiment, the
parsing module 112 can include a library of emotionally-chargedlanguage 112 c. In this embodiment, after parsing the message content contained within theelectronic message 160, theparsing module 112 can cross-reference the words and terms contained with the message content to the library of emotionally-chargedlanguage 112 c. The words and terms contained within the library of emotionally-chargedlanguage 112 c may be tagged with attributes according to the sentiments they most commonly express. For example, the library of emotionally-chargedlanguage 112 c may include the terms “disastrous,” “splendid,” “terrible,” and “awesome.” Within the library of emotionally-chargedlanguage 112 c, “disastrous” may be tagged with the attribute [bad] or [negative]; “splendid” may be tagged with the attribute [good] or [positive]. In one embodiment, the terms contained within the library of emotionally-chargedlanguage 112 c may additionally or alternatively be tagged with a numeric value. For example, “disastrous” may be tagged with the attributes [negative; 7], and “terrible” may be tagged with the attributes [negative; 5], indicating that while “disastrous” and “terrible” may express similar “negative” sentiments, “disastrous” is more negative than “terrible.” In one embodiment, the parsing module 112 (or, alternatively, any component of the system 100) can dynamically add or remove words or terms to and from the library of emotionally-chargedlanguage 112 c. Theparsing module 112 may use any technique to tag or evaluate the sentiments of emotionally-charged language. - In one embodiment, the library of emotionally-charged
language 112 c is specific to theparticular user 130. In this embodiment, eachparticular user 130 of thesystem 100 access a unique library of emotionally-chargedlanguage 112 c associated only with that particular user. In one variation of this embodiment, theparticular user 130 may manually add or remove words and terms to and from the library of emotionally-chargedlanguage 112 c. In one embodiment of thesystem 100, thesystem 100 can be accessed by multiple users. In one variation of this embodiment, the library of emotionally-chargedlanguage 112 c employed by theparsing module 112 is the same for each user. - In one embodiment of the
system 100, the parsing module additionally includes aneural network 150 and a library ofinputs 151. In this embodiment, after parsing the message content of anelectronic message 160 received by the sentiment vector generator 11, theparsing module 112 can store theelectronic message 160 in the library ofinputs 151, along with the emotionally-charged language found within the message content and any accompanying attributes, creating a database of messages and their accompanying emotionally-charged language. In this embodiment, theneural network 150 can employ machine learning techniques to analyze this database for patterns and trends in order to dynamically improve the performance of thesentiment vector generator 110. For example, theneural network 150 may determine through the application of an algorithm that theparticular user 130 uses the term “disastrous” ten times more often than theparticular user 130 uses the term “terrible.” Thus, even though “disastrous” may be a more negative term than “terrible” for the average user or person, the neural network can determine that, for theparticular user 130, “disastrous” generally carries less emotional weight than “terrible.” In this example, theneural network 150 can then update theparsing module 112 and the library of emotionally-charged language accordingly. For example, in the example in which the terms “disastrous” and “terrible” begin as tagged within the library of emotionally-chargedlanguage 112 c as [negative; 7] and [negative; 5], respectively, theneural network 150 can update the attributes to read [negative; 5] and [negative 7], respectively. In one embodiment, theparsing module 112 can store electronic messages into the library ofinputs 151 along with their standardized lexicon conversions. -
FIG. 4 depicts graphical representations of the parsing of electronic messages by theparsing module 112.FIG. 4A depicts the parsing of three separateelectronic messages 160, “it definitely has given me more time and flexibility and channels creativity differently” 160 a, “is it ok if we text on WhatsApp?” 160 b, and “Oh u live in Williamsburg” 160 c for emotionally-charged language by theparsing module 112. In, this example, in the message content of 160 a, theparsing module 112 determines three emotionally-charged words and terms: “definitely has,” “and,” and “differently;” in the message content of 160 b: “ok,” “we,” and “WhatsApp?” and in the message content of 160 c: “u” and “Williamsburg.” In one embodiment, as discussed above, after parsing the message content, theparsing module 112 can determine attributes for the emotionally-charged language found in the message content, as depicted by S123 inFIG. 4B . In the example depicted inFIG. 4B , theparsing module 112 tags “definitely has” with [positive, active], “and” with [neutral], and “differently” with [negative]. In one embodiment, as discussed above, theparsing module 112 includes asemantic layer 112 b configured to recognize, within the message content contained within theelectronic message 160, natural language syntax, as depicted by S122 inFIG. 4B . In the example depicted inFIG. 4B , thesemantic layer 112 b recognizes the space between “WhatsApp” and “?” in “is it ok if we text on WhatsApp?” as an instance of natural language syntax. In one embodiment, as discussed above, theparsing module 112 includes aheuristic layer 112 a configured to recognize, within the message content contained within theelectronic message 160, shorthand script, symbols, and emoticons, as depicted by S124 inFIG. 4B . In the example depicted inFIG. 4B , theheuristic layer 112 a recognizes “u” as a shorthand term for “you.” - In one embodiment, as discussed above, after parsing the message content contained within the
electronic message 160, theparsing module 112 can cross-reference the words and terms contained with the message content to a library of emotionally-chargedlanguage 112 c, as depicted inFIG. 4C . In the example depicted inFIG. 4C , theparsing module 112 cross-referenceselectronic message 160 a with the library of emotionally-chargedlanguage 112 c and determines that “differently,” “more,” “flexibility,” and “differently” are emotionally-charged words or terms. In one embodiment, as discussed above, before parsing the message content of anelectronic message 160, theparsing module 112 can convert the message content into a standardized lexicon, as depicted inFIG. 4D . In the example depicted inFIG. 4D , theparsing module 112 converts “is it ok if we text on WhatsApp?” into the converted text, “is it okay if we text on WhatsApp?” in step S126 before parsing the converted text for emotionally-charged language in step S128. -
FIGS. 5A, 5B, and 5C depict a graphical representation of a dynamicsentiment value spectrum 114. In one embodiment, after parsing message content of anelectronic message 160 for emotionally-charged language, thesentiment vector generator 110 can generate a sentiment value from a dynamicsentiment value spectrum 114 for theelectronic message 160. In one variation of this embodiment, the dynamicsentiment value spectrum 114 can be represented as a coordinate system, as depicted inFIG. 5A . In the example depicted inFIG. 5A , the dynamicsentiment value spectrum 114 is a Cartesian coordinate system consisting of two axes: ahorizontal axis 115 a ranging from positive to negative (henceforth, the positivity axis) and avertical axis 115 b ranging from passive to active (henceforth, the activity axis). In this example, the dynamicsentiment value spectrum 114 consists of a multitude of different sentiments, each occupying a different position on the coordinate system. For example, the sentiments “Happy,” “Astonished,” and “Inquisitive” (114 a-114 c, respectively) all occupy the second quadrant of the coordinate system, defined by a positive position on the positivity scale and an active position on the activity scale (i.e., each of these sentiments are determined by thesentiment vector generator 110 to be positive and active sentiments). In this example, the sentiment vector generator considers Inquisitive 114 c to be a more active but less positive sentiment than Astonished 114 b and Astonished to be a less positive and less active sentiment thanHappy 114 a. Also, in this example, the sentiments “Shocked,” “Sad,” and “Mad” (114 d-114 f, respectively) all occupy the first quadrant of the coordinate system, defined by a negative position on the positivity scale and an active position on the activity scale (i.e., each of these sentiments are determined by the sentiment vector generator to be active and negative sentiments). However, the dynamicsentiment value spectrum 114 need not be a coordinate system. Rather, the dynamicsentiment value spectrum 114 may take on any appropriate form (e.g., a list, a linear scale, etc.). Additionally, the sentiment value spectrum does not need to be dynamic. - In one embodiment, as discussed above, after parsing message content contained within an
electronic message 160 for emotionally-charged language, theparsing module 112 can assign attributes to the emotionally-charged language found in the message content of theelectronic message 160. In one embodiment, thesentiment vector generator 110 can analyze the emotionally-language and their accompanying attributes to generate a sentiment value from the dynamicsentiment value spectrum 114, as depicted inFIG. 5B . For example, in the example depicted inFIG. 5B , theparsing module 112 can assign each emotionally-charged term found in the message content of an electronic message with respective coordinate values on the positivity and activity axes of the Cartesian coordinate dynamic sentiment value spectrum discussed in the example above. In this example, thesentiment vector generator 110 can take the coordinate position of each emotionally-charged term, calculate an average position of the emotionally-charged terms, and plot the average positon on the dynamicsentiment value spectrum 114 depicted inFIG. 5A . Then, in this example, thesentiment vector generator 110 can generate a sentiment value for the electronic message by determining the sentiment value on the dynamicsentiment value spectrum 114 closest to the average position of the emotionally-charged terms. - In one embodiment, the
sentiment vector generator 110 can generate a sentiment value for anelectronic message 160 by determining which of the emotionally-charged terms found in the message content of the electronic message carries the most emotional weight. For example, in one embodiment, theparsing module 112 can parse the message content of anelectronic message 160 for emotionally-charged language and assign each emotionally-charged term with a positivity scale value, an activity scale value, and an emotional weight value. In this embodiment, thesentiment vector generator 110 can then determine a sentiment value for the electronic message by determining which of the emotionally-charged terms has the highest emotional weight value, and then determining the sentiment value on the dynamicsentiment value spectrum 114 closest to the position of emotionally-charged term with the highest emotional weight value. - In one embodiment, the library of emotionally-charged
language 112 c associates each emotionally-charged term contained within the library with a sentiment value from the dynamicsentiment value spectrum 114. For example, the library of emotionally-chargedlanguage 112 c may associate the words “gleeful,” “splendid,” and “terrific” with a “happy” sentiment value. In this example, if the message content of anelectronic message 160 includes any of the terms “gleeful,” “splendid,” or “terrific,” thesentiment vector generator 110 can generate a “happy” sentiment value for theelectronic message 160. However, the sentiment vector generator can generate a sentiment value for anelectronic message 160 using any other methodology. - In one embodiment, the
particular user 130 may select a sentiment value from the dynamic sentiment value spectrum for anelectronic message 160. In one variation of this embodiment, after theparsing module 112 parses the message content of anelectronic message 160 submitted by theparticular user 130, thesentiment vector generator 110 can generate multiple sentiment values for theelectronic message 160 and present the multiple sentiment values for theelectronic message 160 to theparticular user 130 for selection. For example, after receivingelectronic message 160 a (depicted inFIG. 4A ), thesentiment vector generator 110 may generate an “excited” sentiment value and a “melancholy” sentiment value forelectronic message 160 a. In this example, theparticular user 130 may be given the choice to pick between the “excited” sentiment value and the “melancholy” sentiment value, in order to further ensure that the proper (i.e., intended) sentiment will be expressed. - In one embodiment, as discussed above, the
system 100 includes aneural network 150 and a library ofinputs 151 communicatively coupled to thesentiment vector generator 110. In one variation of this embodiment, after generating a sentiment value for anelectronic message 160, thesentiment vector generator 110 store theelectronic message 160 and its accompanying sentiment value in the library ofinputs 151 creating a database of messages and their accompanying sentiment values. In this embodiment, theneural network 150 can employ machine learning techniques to analyze this database for patterns and trends in order to dynamically improve the performance of thesentiment vector generator 110. In one variation of this embodiment, theneural network 150 can dynamically edit or rearrange the dynamicsentiment value spectrum 114. In the rearranged version, the sentiment values have adjusted and coalesced into more discrete sections (115 c-115 e). This may reflect that aparticular user 130 associated with the rearrangedsentiment value spectrum 117 generates messages most of their messages with a similar tone, making the difference between similar sentiments subtler than that of the average person. - In one embodiment, the
sentiment vector generator 110 can generate a sentiment value for anelectronic message 160 at least in part by utilizing information about aparticular user 130. For example, in one embodiment, thesystem 100 can generate sender context associated with aparticular user 130. The sender context can include, but is not limited to: social media data associated with the particular user, data obtained from IoT (internet of things) devices associated with the particular user, data obtained from wearable devices associated with the particular user, genetic profile data associated with the particular user, and stress data of the particular user. In one variation of this embodiment, thesystem 100 can leverage sensors and inputs coupled to anelectronic computing device 140 associated with theparticular user 130 to generate sender context associated with theparticular user 130, as depicted by step S160 inFIG. 6 . For example, in the example depicted inFIG. 6 , thesystem 100 can leverage a camera built into a mobile phone associated with theparticular user 130 to capture images of the face of the particular user. In this example, thesystem 100 can then analyze the images of the face of the user (e.g., the eye motion or lip curvature of the user) and determine the mood of the user at the time that theelectronic message 160 is generated. Thesentiment vector generator 110 can then generate a sentiment value using the determined mood of the user. In one variation of this embodiment, thesystem 100 can leverage sensors coupled to wearable devices associated with a particular user, such as a smart watch, intelligent contact lenses, or cochlear implants. For example, thesystem 100 can leverage a microphone built into a cochlear implant to capture the heartrate of a user at the time that the user is generating anelectronic message 160. Using the captured heartrate, thesentiment vector generator 110 can then determine a stress level of the user at the time that the user generated theelectronic message 160 and generate a sentiment value using the determined stress level of the user. Sender context can additionally or alternatively include: facial expression, motion or gesture, respiration rate, heart rate, and cortisol level. - In another variation of the previous embodiment, the
sentiment vector generator 110 can generate a sentiment value for anelectronic message 160 at least in part by utilizing information about an intended recipient of theelectronic message 160. In this embodiment, after receiving anelectronic message 160, thesystem 100 can determine an intendedrecipient 131 of theelectronic message 160. Thesystem 100 can then generate recipient context associated with the intendedrecipient 131. The recipient context can include but is not limited to: social media data associated with the intended recipient, data obtained from IoT (internet of things, e.g., a smart home assistant such the Amazon Echo) devices associated with the intended recipient, data obtained from wearable devices associated with the intended recipient, genetic profile data associated with the intended recipient, and stress data associated with the intended recipient. For example, in one embodiment, thesystem 100 can leverage sensors built into anelectronic device 141 associated with the intended recipient to determine a mood of the intendedrecipient 131 at the time that theelectronic message 160 is generated. Thesentiment vector generator 110 can then generate a sentiment value for theelectronic message 160 based at least in part on the determined mood of the intendedrecipient 131. - After generating a sentiment value for an
electronic message 160, thesentiment vector generator 110 can then select a sentiment vector from a library ofsentiment vectors 118, the selected sentiment vector designed to convey a sentiment corresponding to the generated sentiment value, and impose the selected sentiment vector to theelectronic message 160, as depicted inFIG. 7 . The library ofsentiment vectors 118 can include but is not limited to: a color change of a component of the message content, a change in the text font of a component of the message content, an audio effect, a haptic effect, and a graphical addition to the message content. For example, in one embodiment, after generating a “mad” sentiment value, thesentiment vector generator 110 may change the background of theelectronic message 160, as depicted by step S141 a inFIG. 7A , such as changing the background of theelectronic message 160 to red to reflect the mad sentiment. Or, for example, in one variation of this embodiment, thesentiment vector generator 110 may opt to highlight only key words or terms in red, or change the fonts of key words or terms to red. Thesentiment vector generator 110 can impose any sort of color change to theelectronic message 160 in order to convey a corresponding sentiment. - In one embodiment, for example, after generating an “inquisitive” sentiment value for an
electronic message 160, thesentiment vector generator 110 may impose a graphic onto theelectronic message 160, as depicted by step 141 b inFIG. 7A , such as adding question mark graphics to the background of theelectronic message 160. In one variation of this example, thesentiment vector generator 110 can add one question mark to the end of the message content of theelectronic message 160 in a font size that is larger than the font size of the rest of the message content. In another variation of this example, thesentiment vector generator 110 may impose a .gif file to the background ofelectronic message 160, in which one question mark grows and shrinks in periodic intervals. Thesentiment vector generator 110 can impose any sort of static or dynamic graphic to theelectronic message 160 in order to convey a corresponding sentiment. - In one embodiment, for another example, after generating a “judgmental” sentiment value for an
electronic message 160, thesentiment vector generator 110 can edit the font of a key word in the message content, as depicted by step S141 c inFIG. 7A , such as italicizing one of the words contained in the message content. Such font effects can include, but are not limited to, italicizing the font, changing the size of the font, bolding, underlining, and changing the spacing between characters, words, and lines. Thesentiment vector generator 110 can impose any sort of font change to theelectronic message 160 in order to convey a corresponding sentiment. - In one embodiment, the
sentiment vector generator 110 can impose an animated character or personality to theelectronic message 160, or transpose theelectronic message 160 into a graphic of an animated character or personality. For example, in one variation of this embodiment, the library ofsentiment vectors 118 may include a series of the same animated character (take, for example, an animated llama or chicken) performing various actions associated with various corresponding sentiments. For example, the library ofsentiment vectors 118 may include a static or dynamic graphic of an animated chicken stomping with red eyes (expressing anger), another graphic of the animated chicken laying in a hammock and basking in the sun (expressing contentedness), and another graphic of the animated chicken blowing a kiss (expressing affection). In this example, after generating an “anger” sentiment value for anelectronic message 160, thesentiment vector generator 110 can transpose the electronic message into the graphic of the animated chicken stomping and saying the message content of theelectronic message 160. - In one embodiment, the
sentiment vector generator 110 can impose a haptic effect onto anelectronic message 160. For example, after generating an “anger” sentiment value for anelectronic message 160, thesentiment vector generator 110 can impose a vibration or vibration pattern onto theelectronic message 160, as depicted by step S141 d inFIG. 7B , such as three short vibrations. In another example, after generating a “contented” sentiment value for anelectronic message 160, thesentiment vector generator 110 can impose one long and muted vibration to theelectronic message 160. Thesentiment vector generator 110 can impose any form of vibration or vibration pattern to an electronic message in order to convey a corresponding sentiment. - In one embodiment, the
sentiment vector generator 110 can impose an audio effect onto anelectronic message 160. For example, after generating an “unhappy” sentiment value for anelectronic message 160, thesentiment vector generator 110 can impose an audio accompaniment onto theelectronic message 160, as depicted by step S142 inFIG. 7B , such as protracted “nooo.” In another example, thesentiment vector generator 110 can impose a voice accompaniment dictating the message content of theelectronic message 160 and stressing key words contained within the message content. The voice accompaniment may stress key words contained within the message content in any number of ways including, but not limited to: increasing or decreasing in volume, changing the intonation of the voice, changing the speed of the voice, or changing the cadence of the voice accompaniment. In one embodiment, the voice accompaniment vector may be a recorded and processed version of the particular user's voice. In one embodiment, the voice accompaniment vector may be the voice of another individual, such as a celebrity, or a combination of the particular user's voice and the voice of another individual. - In one embodiment, after generating a sentiment value for an
electronic message 160, thesentiment vector generator 110 can impose a vector onto theelectronic message 160 that adjusts the position of the words contained with the message content of the electronic message, as depicted by step S141 e inFIG. 7B . In one variation of this embodiment, the adjustment of the words contained within the message content is static, such that the words occupy new positions in a static image. In one variation of this embodiment, the adjustment of the words contained within the message content is dynamic, such that the words contained within the message content move within the resulting vectorized message. - In one embodiment, a user may submit sentiment vectors to the
sentiment vector generator 110. For example, in one embodiment, a user may submit a picture or graphic design to impose onto the background of an electronic message and select a sentiment value for the picture or graphic design to be associated with. In this example, after generating a sentiment value for anelectronic message 160 corresponding to the sentiment value that the user has selected to associate with the picture or graphic design, thesentiment vector generator 110 can impose the picture or graphic design to the background of theelectronic message 160 to convey the corresponding sentiment. In another example, in one variation of this embodiment, a user can select a sentiment vector previously included in the library ofsentiment vectors 118 and previously associated with a sentiment value and disassociate the sentiment vector from the associated sentiment value, or re-associate the sentiment vector with a different sentiment value. In yet another example, in one variation of this embodiment, a user can select one or more elements from existing sentiment vectors contained within the library ofsentiment vectors 118 and combine them to create a new sentiment vector. In this example, the user can also choose a sentiment value to associate with the new sentiment vector. In another example, in one variation of this embodiment, a user can select a sentiment vector by scrolling through a list of sentiment vectors (e.g., a list including options to adjust text weight, height, font, color, highlight, or content animation) using a flicking gesture, within a mobile application, on a touch screen coupled to an electronic computing device. - The sentiment vector generator can include or generate, but is not limited to, sentiment vectors using any combination of the elements of the sentiment vectors described herein. Additionally, environmental conditions and factors for example, but not limited to, wind, heat, humidity, cold may also play a role in generating the sentiment vector.
- In one embodiment of the
system 100, a user can submit an electronic message160 to thesentiment vector generator 110 through a mobile application (e.g., a native application), as discussed above. In one variation of this embodiment, the mobile application can store vectorized messages generated by the sentiment vector generator and allow the user to search through the vectorized messages. In this embodiment, the user can search through the vectorized messages using different filters or queries including, but not limited to: mood, color, content, and sentiment. For example, in one embodiment, the user can enter a sentiment as “anger” as a search query, and a graphical user interface of the mobile application can display a list of all of the vectorized messages that the user has created through thesentiment vector generator 110 with a sentiment value corresponding to an “anger” sentiment. In one embodiment, thesentiment vector generator 110 can impose a hyperlink onto anelectronic message 160.FIGS. 8A, 8B, 8C, and 8D are flow diagrams of one embodiment of the electronic messaging system. - In an embodiment of the invention, the
sentiment vector generator 110 can impose a hyperlink onto anelectronic message 160. An imperative function of the sentiment vector is GEEQ (genetics, emotion and electroencephalography) and its capacity to integrate messages and messaging with movement and thought as well as the ability to pair information with form and performative elements. In a nutshell, our technology will introduce, integrate, account for, and actively utilize GEEQ (Genetics, Emotion, and Electroencephalography). GEEQ, by its very desgn, integrates and intermingles the beliefs and postulates of Darwin, Mendel, Mendelssohn, Morgan, and Martha Graham. -
FIG. 9 illustrates a network diagram of the digital therapeutic system in accordance with an aspect of the invention. As shown, at least oneprocessor 204 is connected to the Internet (network) 206 via either a wireless (e.g. WiFi link) or wired link to an Internet connected router, usually via firewall. Thenetwork 206 may be any class of wired or wireless network including any software, hardware, or computer applications that can provide a medium to exchange signals or data. Thenetwork 206 may be a local, regional, or global communication network.Various servers 204, such as a remote VCS Internet server, and associated database memory can connect with the at least a user device (1 . . . n). Additionally, various user devices (e.g. Smartphones, tablet computers, laptop computers, desktop computers and the like) can also connect to both the processor-controlled IoT hubs, sensors disposed on the device configured for data gathering, and/or the remoteVCS Internet server 204. - As will be discussed, often a plurality of different user devices may be used, but for simplicity this plurality of devices will often be spoken of in the singular form. This use of the singular form is not intended to be limiting, and in general the claims and invention should be understood as operating with a plurality of devices. Although for simplicity, often mobile client computerized devices such as Internet connected versions of the popular Android, iOS, or Windows smartphones and tablets will be used as specific examples of devices, these specific examples are not intended to be limiting. The electronic computing device may include any number of sensors or components configured to intake or gather data from a user of the electronic computing device including, but not limited to, a camera, a heart rate monitor, a temperature sensor, an accelerometer, a microphone, and a gyroscope. The electronic computing device can also include an input device (e.g., a touchscreen or a keyboard) through which a user may input text and commands.
- While not shown, note that server, Internet connected storage device and database memory may all be located in the cloud. This is intended to both designate and remind the reader that the server, Internet connected storage device and database memory are in fact operating according to scalable Internet cloud-based methods that in turn operate according to automated service provisioning and automated virtual machine migration methods. As previously discussed, examples of such scalable methods include, but are not limited to, Amazon EC2, Microsoft Windows Azure platform, and the Google App Engine. Thus, for example, server and Internet connected storage device will often be implemented as automatically provisioned virtual machines under a cloud service system that can create a greater or lesser number of copies of server and Internet connected video storage device and associated database memory according to the underlying demands on the system at any given time.
- Preferred embodiments may include the addition of a
remote server 204 or cloud server to further provide for back-end functionality and support. Any one of the storage or processing may be done on-board the device or be situated adjacent or remotely from the system and connected to each system via acommunication network 206. In one embodiment, theserver 204 may be used to support user behavior profiling; user history function; predictive learning/analytics; alert function; network sharing function; digital footprint tracking, etc. Theremote server 204 may be further configured to authenticate the user and retrieve data of the user, device, and, or network and applies the data against a library of messages, content, validated user information, etc. - Now in reference to
FIGS. 10 and 11 .FIGS. 10 and 11 both illustrate an exemplary embodiment of the digital therapeutic delivery system.FIGS. 10 and 11 illustrate an exemplary processing unit with at least a oneprescriber EMS store EMS store primary message prescriber 305; a processor coupled to a memory element with instructions, the processor when executing said memory-stored instructions, configure the system to cause: at least one EMS from a plurality of EMS in theEMS store - As shown in
FIG. 11 , any number of EMS or EMS types may be included in theEMS store FIG. 11 also illustrates the fact that any number of messages or interactively therapeutic content may be associated with each EMS type. Each message; or interactively therapeutic content; or pushed therapeutic may contain at least one of a text, image, sound, video, art asset, suggested action or recommended behavior. The matching of message; interactively therapeutic content; or pushed therapeutic with EMS type may be pre-defined by at least one of an accredited expert or source; probabilistic; or deep learned. In a preferred embodiment, an accredited expert or source will require at least two independent sources of peer-reviewed scholarship or data in order to validate the match. - The at least
primary message prescriber 305 may push a message or interactively therapeutic content personalized to the user based on at least one stored message matched to the selected EMS. For example, within theEMS store 403, if EMS 1 (lethargic) is selected as defined by the user or the system, any one ofmessage prescriber 305. The pre-defined messages validated by the accredited expert may all be messages with documented utility in elevating mood and energy (rubric). The mood and energy documented for each message may be on a scale. For instance,EMS 1message 1 may be low-moderate;EMS 1/message 2 may be moderate; andEMS 1/message n may be high-severe, etc. Any variant of the scale may be featured without departing from the scope of the invention. In other embodiments, the messages, while falling under the same rubric and un-scaled, can vary along design cues. For instance, theprescriber 305 may chooseEMS 1/message 2, over other available messages, due to the fact that the message is comprised of traditionally feminine cues (pink-colored bauhaus typeface) for a female user. Other user profile or demographic information may further inform theprescribers 305 choice of message type, such as age, education level, voting preference, etc. User profile or demographic information may be user inputted or digitally crawled. - Still in reference to
FIG. 11 , the prescriber's 305 choice of message type is not specific to a user, user profile, or crawled user data. In a certain embodiment, theprescriber 305 may have to choose between any one of the message types (message 1,message 2 . . . message n) from the selected EMS type. This type of message assignment may be completely arbitrary. In other embodiments, the message assignment may be not specific to a user-generated or crawled profile but may be based on user history. In other words, a user's tracked level of engagement with a previous message or message from a previous session may inform message assignment by theprescriber 305. Tracking engagement of a user with a pushed or prescribed therapeutic message may be by camera-captured eye gazing, touch-screen interaction, time span between pushed therapeutic and user follow-up action, choice of follow-up action, etc. - In some embodiments, the full list of message types is not grouped by EMS type or along any design categories, but rather simply listed arbitrarily and mapped or matched to an appropriate EMS type. In this arbitrarily listed manner, the
prescriber 305 may match to more than one EMS type. Likewise, a user may be defined by more than one EMS type and be prescribed the same message type. -
FIG. 12 illustrates a flow diagram depicting the method of delivering a digital therapeutic in accordance with an aspect of the invention. In a preferred embodiment, the method may comprise the steps of: (1) recognizing at least one EMS selected by the user from a plurality of EMS, the selected EMS indicating at least one of a feeling, sensation, type of discomfort, mood, mental state, emotional condition, or physical status of theuser 508. Once the EMS is defined, the method then calls for (2) pushing at least a primary-level message personalized to the user based on at least one stored message coupled to the selectedEMS 509. - In some embodiments, the system or method may call for pushing at least a secondary-level message personalized to the user based on a threshold-grade match of the user response to the pushed primary-level message with at least one stored response coupled to a stored primary-level message, whereby the user and stored response is a measure of at least one of a reaction, compliance, engagement, or interactivity with the pushed and, or stored primary-level message. Much like the primary message or primary-level message, the secondary-level messages may also contain at least one of a text, image, sound, video, art asset, suggested action or recommended behavior. Again, the efficaciousness or therapeutic value of the primary or secondary messages are validated by at least one—and typically two—independent sources of clinical research or peer-reviewed science, as verified by a credentialed EMS expert.
- In order to facilitate the at least secondary message or secondary-level message, the
primary prescriber 305 may be used: Assigning a second message to the same user in the same session for the first defined EMS type. As is with the the assignment of the first message, the assignment of the second may arbitrarily choose among EMS-grouped messages or from the full arbitrary list of messages in the EMS store. Moreover, theprimary prescriber 305 may perform the secondary assignment in a logic-defined manner, wherein gathered, contextualized, or profiled data informs the assignment. In yet other aspects, second-level assignment may be performed by at least asecondary message prescriber 307, wherein the at leastsecondary message prescriber 307 pushes at least a secondary-level message personalized to the user based on a threshold-grade match of the user response to the pushed primary-level message with at least one stored response coupled to a stored primary-level message, whereby the user and stored response is a measure of at least one of a reaction, compliance, engagement, or interactivity with the pushed and, or stored primary-level message. - For instance, when a user-generated or system-generated EMS is defined as ‘unfulfilled’ for user A, a
primary prescriber 305 assigns message 2 (uplifting; inspiring message) from EMS 1 (unfulfilled). In one embodiment, asecondary prescriber 307 prescribes a pro-social behavior, such as a local community service, immediately upon a touch interaction with the first inspiring message pushed. In other embodiments, a level of engagement, interaction or compliance may be tracked by the system to infer severity of the EMS. For instance, if user A does not comply with the touch-interaction requests from the first inspiring message or pro-social behavior recommendation of the second message, then thesecondary prescriber 307 may push a less physically strenuous pro-social recommendation, such as suggesting to call an in-network licensed expert or simply make a cash donation to a charitable organization of the users choosing via a linked micro-payment method. For the purposes of inferring severity of EMS, any number of diagnostics that leverage any one of the on-device tools may be used, such as gyroscopic sensors or cameras. Secondary assignment may also be based on learned history, such as a past positive reaction (compliance) to a receiving a message from a loved one that a donation was made in user A's name to a charitable organization. Based on such history, asecondary prescriber 307 may assign a primary or secondary message recommending to make a donation in the name of a loved one during an ‘unfulfilled’ EMS experienced by user A. - The processing unit may further be communicatively coupled to at least one of an interface module, display module, input module, logic module, a context module, timeline module, tracking module, notification module, and a payment/gifting module. In accordance with one aspect, the notification module may be configured to generate reports at regular intervals (such as daily at 12:00 PM, weekly and monthly), on-demand (when the user requests for a report corresponding to the user), when triggered by an event, or upon a detected severe EMS. In an embodiment of the present invention, the notification module may also be configured to send a notification to the user or to a chosen loved one of the user. The notification may be a message, a phone call or any other communication means.
- In an embodiment of the present invention, a timeline module may push already pushed messages in at least one of a static, dynamic, and, or scheduled fashion based on at least one of the user's scheduler criteria. The line of static, dynamic, and, or scheduled messages may be curated by the user, pre-set, or dynamically pushed based on any one of a user parameter. In some embodiments, the timeline module enables the displayed line of static, dynamic, and, or scheduled messages to be further replicated on at least one of a social media timelines or stories. In other words, the timeline module enables the displayed messages to be further shared with social media outlets.
- In an embodiment of the present invention, a payment or gifting module may enable purchasing and gifting donations, physical objects, or digital assets. The gifting module may further be coupled to a distributive digital ledger, wherein each transaction among any user is represented as a unique node in the digital ledger. Each node tagged with meta data facilitating at least one of a transaction, validation and, or registration for each transaction.

FIG. 13 is a representative screen shot depicting an exemplary user interface in accordance with an aspect of the invention. As shown, thetop layer 602 depicts a spotlighted EMS and the bottom layer is a scroll menu of EMS. In this case, the concept of EMS, as earlier defined, also includes behavioral interventions or training regimens, in addition to an emotional and mental state. In some embodiments, an exemplary user experience may have bothtop layer 602 andbottom layer 604 within the same screen, wherein thetop layer 602 is a spotlighted rendering of the focused EMS from the EMS menu depicted in thebottom layer 604. In other embodiments, the window may only feature the scrolling EMS menu as depicted in thebottom layer 604, wherein the focused EMS from the plurality of EMS may pop-out, or be emphasized anyhow. In yet other embodiments, the window may only feature the one EMS at a time, allowing for the user to go through the entire menu, one window (EMS) at a time. In yet other embodiments, the menu may be featured in a thumbnail format, allowing the user to choose at least one EMS from a thumbnail menu, sized to fit in a single window, or alternatively, configured for scrolling. -
FIG. 14 is a representative screen shot depicting an exemplary user interface in accordance with an aspect of the invention. Once the EMS (behavioral intervention or training regimen) is defined, users can read more about the intervention or training regimen they're going to start and self-administer (have pushed to their device) from a top portion of the card (window) 702. On the same card (window), the bottom portion may highlight proven benefits, and then provide directions for use, mixing real guidance with elements ofhumor 704. The medical-inspired alliteration and iconography are intended to invoke a sense of prescriptive health care or wellness. -
FIGS. 15 and 16 are a representative screen shot depicting an exemplary user interface in accordance with an aspect of the invention. As shown onFIG. 15 , once the EMS (regimen) is defined and a particular course of treatment (message) is started, on the top-right portion of the next card explicitly identifies thespecific drug benefit 802. While not shown, by tapping the drug abbreviation, users can see the source of supportingscientific research 802. By tapping the hamburger icon, users can choose to save the individual card, or share the card and its contents with friends across social media. It is to be understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art that these icons, or any icons, on this card (window), or any card (window), may be positioned elsewhere (or anywhere), without departing from the inventive scope. - As shown on
FIGS. 15 and 16 , the focal point of the card (window) is the actual EMS-defined message (treatment), and in the case of this window, is a suggested action—jump for 5 seconds.FIG. 15 represents an exemplary card formatted for a mobile phone, whileFIG. 16 represents an exemplary card formatted for a smart watch. Jumping for 5 seconds is a suggested action to restore the oxytocin neurotransmitter, which is documented for building happiness and confidence—the initially chosen EMS or behavioral intervention by the user (FIG. 13 ). The veracity of the message or suggested action is supported by the referenced peer-reviewed research and co-signed credentialedexpert 802. As a person, skilled in the art will recognize from the previous detailed description and from the figures and claims, modifications and changes can be made to the embodiments of the cards, windows, icons, design elements, EMS types, behavioral intervention types, message types, without departing from the scope of this invention as defined in the following claims. - While not shown in
FIGS. 15 and 16 , the messages (cards/windows) may comprise a single or battery of physical and, or cognitive tasks and based on responses, further indicate a more nuanced EMS for a more tailored initial or subsequent message. Responses may include a level of compliance, engagement, interaction, choices, etc. Furthermore, for deeper and more nuanced EMS definition, assigning an indication score or color-coded range to further convey EMS severity may be achievable. As a result, matching of message type to scored or color-coded EMS may produce a more refined match for pushing of even more personalized digital content or therapeutics. -
FIG. 17 illustrates a block diagram representing a system including themood mapper module 308 in relation to the EMS store and prescribers in accordance with an aspect of the invention. In combination, the system enables a specific sub-routine that ultimately provisions a dynamic assessment of a user's EMS (dEMS) based on a multi-correlate coordinate system (mood map).FIG. 18 illustrates a graphical representation of the mood map including the at least two correlates of behavior (active/passive 902; positive/negative 904) underlying the user-plotted assessment of behavior in accordance with an aspect of the invention. The mood map allows users to plot as a single point along at least two correlates of behavior—resulting in a push of hyper-personalized digital content with therapeutic value to reinforce or counter the user-mapped dynamic assessment. - In a preferred embodiment, as demonstrated in
FIG. 17 /18, the system featuring a user-plotted mood map for deriving a dEMS for a hyper-personalized digital therapeutic comprises amessage prescriber EMS store 303; a processor coupled to a memory element stored with instructions, said processor when executing said memory-stored instructions, configure a mood mapping module (mood mapper) 308 to cause display of a coordinate-based sentiment value spectrum (mood map) comprising one positive to negative-scaledaxis 904 and one perpendicular active to passivescaled axis 902 forming a two-dimensional plot of a sentiment value along a positive to negative line (positivity correlate) and an active to passive line (activity correlate); at least one user-plotted point on the displayed mood map to reflect a two-dimensional EMS (dynamic EMS) along the two correlates of positivity and activity, said dynamic EMS indicating a granular assessment of at least one of a feeling, sensation, mood, mental state, emotional condition, or physical status of the user; and themessage prescriber - In alternative embodiments, the mood map may comprise at least three axis in a three-dimensional representation, wherein one axis represents the positivity correlate; the second axis the activity correlate; and the third axis a time or duration correlate. In yet other embodiments, any type of correlates of behavior along any number of axis may be represented to capture a dEMS based on a user-plot on the mood map.
-
FIG. 17 illustrates an exemplary processing unit with at least a oneprescriber 305 configured for displaying interactively therapeutic content from anEMS store 303 based on a user-plotted dEMS (hyper-personalized digital therapeutics). As shown, the system may comprise anEMS store 303; at least aprimary message prescriber 305; a processor coupled to a memory element with instructions, the processor when executing said memory-stored instructions, configure the system to cause: at least one EMS from a plurality of EMS in theEMS store 303 to be pushed based on the user-plotted point, and alternatively, the dynamic sentiment value represented by the user-plotted point based on the intersecting correlates of behavior. - While not shown in
FIG. 17 , any number of EMS or EMS types may be included in theEMS store 303. Each EMS may indicate at least one of a feeling, sensation, type of discomfort, mood, mental state, emotional condition, physical status of the user, and, or a behavioral intervention or training regimen. Any number of messages or interactively therapeutic content may be associated with each EMS type. Each message; or interactively therapeutic content; or pushed therapeutic may contain at least one of a text, image, sound, video, art asset, suggested action or recommended behavior. The matching of message; interactively therapeutic content; or pushed therapeutic with EMS type may be pre-defined by at least one of an accredited expert or source; probabilistic; or deep learned. In a preferred embodiment, an accredited expert or source will require at least two independent sources of peer-reviewed scholarship or data in order to validate the match. - The at least
primary message prescriber 305 may push a message or interactively therapeutic content hyper-personalized to the user based on at least one stored message matched to the selected EMS. For example, within theEMS store 303, if EMS 1 (amused) is selected as plotted in the far bottom left corner (FIG. 18, 115 c) the by the user, any one ofmessage prescriber 305. The pre-defined messages validated by the accredited expert may all be messages with documented utility in elevating mood and energy (counter-effect) or playful, light-hearted (reinforcing). The effects documented for each message may be on a scale. For instance,EMS 1message 1 may be low-moderate;EMS 1/message 2 may be moderate; andEMS 1/message n may be high-severe, etc. EMS types or message types may be color coded or scored to indicate severity. Any variant of the scale may be featured without departing from the scope of the invention. In other embodiments, the messages, while falling under the same rubric and un-scaled, can vary along design cues. For instance, theprescriber 305 may chooseEMS 1/message 2, over other available messages, due to the fact that the message is comprised of traditionally feminine cues (pink-colored bauhaus typeface) for a female user. Other user profile, demographic information, or contextual information may further inform theprescribers 305 choice of message type, such as age, education level, voting preference, etc. User profile or demographic information may be user inputted, digitally crawled, sensed or captured. - Still in reference to
FIG. 17 , the prescriber's 305 choice of message type may not specific to a user, user profile, or crawled user data. In a certain embodiment, theprescriber 305 may have to choose between any one of the message types (message 1,message 2 . . . message n) from the selected EMS type. This type of message assignment may be completely arbitrary. In other embodiments, the message assignment may be not specific to a user-generated or crawled profile but may be based on user history. In other words, a user's tracked level of engagement with a previous message or message from a previous session may inform message assignment by theprescriber 305. Tracking engagement of a user with a pushed or prescribed therapeutic message may be by camera-captured eye gazing, touch-screen interaction, time span between pushed therapeutic and user follow-up action, choice of follow-up action, etc. - In some embodiments, the full list of message types is not grouped by EMS type or along any design categories, but rather simply listed arbitrarily and mapped or matched to an appropriate EMS type. In this arbitrarily listed manner, the
prescriber 305 may match to more than one EMS type. Likewise, a user may be defined by more than one EMS type and be prescribed the same message type. For instance, as illustrated inFIG. 18 , a plot may indicate for an intermediary EMS between astonished and indifferent 115 d or between sad and mad 115 e. In such an example, two EMS types may be diagnosed/assigned. Message types may be prescribed suited for the intermediary EMS diagnosis. For example, in the case of the intermediary astonished/indifferent, the plot point may indicate that the user is stronger leaning towards astonished than indifferent, and as a result, exclude certain message types associated with the traditional indifferent EMS type. In other embodiments, themood mapper module 308 can take the coordinate position of each plot, calculate a precise position, and plot the positon on the dynamic sentiment value spectrum, wherein every coordinate position correlates with a precise EMS. Precise EMS types may be on a scale or depicted with certain leanings/dispositions toward a specific correlate or other EMS types. -
FIGS. 19A-19D are exemplary screen shots of the mood map interface in accordance with an aspect of the invention. InFIG. 19A , the mood maps x-axis is an activity correlate represented as an ocean surface horizontally bisecting the display, whereby a wave action increases the further right or left from a center point and the wave action calms further left or right from the center point. The mood maps y-axis is a positivity correlate represented as a sky above the ocean surface and ocean depth below the ocean surface, whereby the sky light becomes brighter (indicating positivity) the further up from the center point and the ocean depth becomes dimmer (indicating negativity) the further down from the center point (FIGS. 19B, 19C, 19D ). - While not illustrated, in some embodiments, the mood maps z-axis is a time or duration correlate, wherein the mood map shifts ninety degrees to reveal a side-sectional view of the ocean surface and shore, whereby the shore at either end of the display represents day zero and time or duration increases the further from the shore. Other correlates of behavior may be represented on any one of the two or three axis of the mood map, without departing from the scope of the invention.
- The mood map/mapper may allow for a user to plot a single point on the x/y or x/y/z map, wherein each axis represents a unique and complementary behavioral attribute. In other embodiments, the user may plot multiple points on the x/y or x/y/z map to provide at least four behavioral attributes to inform a dEMS assessment by creating a coefficient, which may be eventually converted into at least one of a dEMS score, dEMS behavioral characteristic, d/EMS type, neurotransmitter implicated, treatment regimen, digital therapeutic type, etc. In other embodiments, at least one of a dEMS score, dEMS behavioral characteristic, d/EMS type, neurotransmitter implicated, treatment regimen, or digital therapeutic type may be derived without the need of a coefficient or algorithmically, statistically, probabilistically, or deep learned.
- In yet other embodiments, the user may engage the mood map/mood mapper by finger-tip scrolling across the map and removing the finger to pinpoint the exact location of the circle/cursor point to define the at least two-axis correlates of behavior. In other embodiments, the user may finger-tip scroll across the map and double-tap to pinpoint the exact location of the circle/cursor point.
- While not illustrated, in some embodiments, the mood map/mood mapper may be configured in alternate ways to interactively engage the user in defining the user's dEMS. For instance, in one embodiment, the map/mapper may may be an interface comprising a series of vertically oriented scales requiring the user to slide a bar up or down the scale in response to a question designed to infer wholly or partially a dEMS of the user. For instance, “what is the likelihood of the polar ice caps completely melting by 2050?” The user would be prompted to slide the bar in response to the question, wherein the furthest top of the scale represents an extremely high likelihood and the furthest bottom of the scale represents an extremely low likelihood. Questions may extend to questions of a more personal nature, such as, “do you believe you will lose your patience, exhibited by an outburst of some kind, during the course of the work day today?” The system may capture the responses to each of the questions and create a coefficient, which may be eventually converted into at least one of a dEMS score, dEMS behavioral characteristic, d/EMS type, neurotransmitter implicated, treatment regimen, digital therapeutic type, etc. In other embodiments, at least one of a dEMS score, dEMS behavioral characteristic, d/EMS type, neurotransmitter implicated, treatment regimen, or digital therapeutic type may be derived without the need of a coefficient or algorithmically, statistically, probabilistically, or deep learned.
-
FIG. 20A andFIG. 20B are exemplary screen shots of the hyper-personalized digital therapeutic pushed to the user-plotted dEMS. Once the EMS (regimen) is defined and a particular course of treatment (message) is started, the first card (window) explicitly identifies the specific EMS and its associated neurotransmitter/effects. While not shown, by tapping the specific EMS and its associated neurotransmitter/effects, users can see the source of supporting scientific research. By tapping the hamburger icon, users can choose to save the individual card, or share the card and its contents with friends across social media. It is to be understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art that these icons, or any icons, on this card (window), or any card (window), may be positioned elsewhere (or anywhere), without departing from the inventive scope. - The focal point of the same or next card (window) in series is the actual EMS-defined message (treatment), and in the case of this window, a suggested action—to plan a day outdoors with a friend. This suggested action is to restore/maintain/improve on the dynamic EMS of happiness by expanding on the associated serotonin neurotransmitter, which is documented for building happiness and confidence. The veracity of the message or suggested action is supported by the referenced peer-reviewed research and co-signed credentialed expert. As a person skilled in the art will recognize that modifications and changes can be made to the embodiments of the cards, windows, icons, design elements, EMS types, behavioral intervention types, message types, without departing from the scope of this invention.
- While not shown in
FIGS. 20A and 20B , the messages (cards/windows) may comprise a single or battery of physical and, or cognitive tasks and based on responses, further indicate a more nuanced EMS for a more tailored initial or subsequent (secondary) message. Responses may include a level of compliance, engagement, interaction, choices, etc. Secondary messages may be pushed from secondary prescribers or primary prescribers coupled to the EMS store. Furthermore, for deeper and more nuanced EMS definition, assigning an indication score or color-coded range to further convey EMS severity may be achievable. As a result, matching of message type to scored or color-coded EMS may produce a more refined match for pushing of even more personalized digital content or therapeutics to boost mood, alleviate anxiety, reduce stress, and improve psychological health or mental fitness by directing users to follow procedures proven to increase the production of beneficial molecules and neurotransmitters like Dopamine, Oxytocin, Acetylcholine, Serotonin, and GABA to deliver positive mood and mind-altering effects. -
FIG. 21 illustrates a method flow chart for generating the hyper-personalized digital therapeutic pushed to the user-plotted dynamic EMS. The first step is: selecting at least one EMS for the user based on a user-plotted point on a displayed mood map to reflect at least a two-dimensional EMS along at least two correlates of behavior, said EMS indicating a granular assessment of at least one of a feeling, sensation, mood, mental state, emotional condition, or physical status of the user 1008; and step two entails delivering at least a primary-level message (digital therapeutic) personalized to the user based on at least one of a stored message coupled to the EMS 1009. - Map engagement and hyper-personalized digital therapeutic content may be pushed to any number of user devices, such as a smart phone, smart watch, tablet, smart tv, or any device with a display feature. Dynamic EMS (dEMS) assessment via the mood map and content pushing may be rendered/delivered identically across the ecosystem of devices. In other embodiments, the rendering/delivery may be specifically formatted based on the device form factor/configurations. For instance, a smart watch format may alter the map presentation, plot mechanisms, and EMS store. The pushed content on a smaller form factor, such as a smart watch, may feature more text-based, static imagery, haptic effects, as opposed to long-form animated or video content. Another user device may feature the use of a home automation vocal-based hub, configured to recognize natural based language input and output. In such embodiments, dEMS may be rendered from vocal tone or responses to targeted question/s. In other embodiments, dEMS may be user-selected. The hyper-personalized digital therapeutic in response to the rendered or user-selected dEMS may be an audio output of a select EMS type from an audio-based EMS store. The audio output may comprise at least one of a narrative, sound, song, tune, voice message, etc.
- The claimed invention leverages existing clinical research and proven science (already published in peer-reviewed journals) and repackages insights as content modules or behavioral interventions that are simpler, more seductive, and profoundly more fun than traditional analogue therapies or digital treatment regimen. Described more simply, the system and platform curates existing digital content, and creates entirely new content programs, informed by and centered around techniques proven to boost mood, alleviate anxiety, reduce stress, and improve psychological health or mental fitness by directing users to follow procedures proven to increase the production of beneficial molecules and neurotransmitters like Dopamine, Oxytocin, Acetylcholine, Serotonin, and GABA to deliver positive mood and mind-altering effects. This is, in essence, a purely digital, transorbital drug delivery system. No pills. No powders. Purely digital experiences to positively impact mood, mind and personal sense of well-being.
